Don’t let his larger than life presence fool you. Jake Hoot may stand 6’6”, but the Season 17 Champion of NBC’s “The Voice” is just as genuine and sweet natured as ever. Following his record breaking win on NBC’s The Voice, Hoot has gone on to release several tracks including, “Tennessee Strong,” which reached Top 10 in the iTunes Country Singles chart, debut single, “Dangerous Thing,” special Father’s Day song, “Best Job I Ever Had,” heartwarming love song, “Nadine,” rowdy summer anthem, “Night Left,” and most recently a duet with his wife, “Wherever Time Goes.” Drawing inspiration from his childhood in the Dominican Republic, Hoot released a cover of “La Bamba” from his debut EP which landed in the Top 10 on the iTunes Latin charts.
